I'm an avid user of both Quicksilver and more recently Ubiquity the Firefox extention (link here: http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/). I like Quicksilver for its desktop integration and Ubiquity for its web and firefox integration
I think it would be really awesome if you could pipe things to Ubiquity from Quicksilver An example of when you would want to do this is when your in another application eg. TextEdit and you want to perform a ubiquity command eg. get a map of a location or display your last Mail email. (Yes I know these things are possible with quicksilver by its self but in my opinion Ubiquity is better integrated with the web and Firefox) The interface could something work like this (This is probably not the best way but this is what I thought of)- - You summon quicksilver via your keyboard shortcut. - In the first pane you press period to bring up text mode - Then you type a Ubiquity command eg. "last-email" - Tab across to the next pane and type "pipe to ubiquity" (or something similar) - Press enter Then your current application is swapped to Firefox with the results of your ubiquity command opened. or - You summon quicksilver via your keyboard shortcut. - In the first pane you type "ubiquity" - Then in the next pane you type "pipe to ubiquity ..." - Then you tab across to the third pane and type your Ubiquity command eg. "last-email" - Press enter Then your current application is swapped to Firefox with the results of your ubiquity command opened. What are your thoughts about this idea? Is it possible? Would it be too hard to make? I would love it someone made a plugin that did and implemented this well
